Project description:Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced-pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) self-renew and differentiate into an array of cell types in vitro and in vivo. A complex network of genetic and epigenetic pathways regulates the self-renewal and differentiation of these pluripotent cells, and the structure and covalent modifications of chromatin play a prominent role in this process. We examine nucleosome occupancy in mouse and human embryonic stem cells (ESCs), induced-pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and differentiated cell types using MNase-seq. To address variability inherent in this technique, we developed a bioinformatic approach that enabled the identification of regions of difference (RoD) in nucleosome occupancy between pluripotent and somatic cells. The majority of changes in nucleosomal signatures that occur in differentiation are reset during reprogramming. We conclude that changes in nucleosome occupancy are a hallmark of pluripotency and likely identify key regulatory regions that play a role in determining cell identity.

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes of LncRNAs in tumor tissues and paired non-tumor tissues in HBV-positive hapatocellular carcinoma. The different expression genes were further analysised. The human LncRNA microarray analysis of the 10 samples (5 non-tumor tissues and 5 paired tumor tissues) were completed. Total RNA from each sample was quantified using the NanoDrop ND-1000 and RNA integrity was assessed using standard denaturing agarose gel electrophoresis. Total RNA of each sample was used for labeling and array hybridization as the following steps: 1) Reverse transcription with by Invitrogen Superscript ds-cDNA synthesis kit; 2) ds-cDNA labeling with NimbleGen one-color DNA labeling kit; 3) Array hybridization using the NimbleGen Hybridization System and followed by washing with the NimbleGen wash buffer kit; 4) Array scanning using the Agilent Scanner G2505C. Scanned images (TIFF format) were then imported into NimbleScan software (version 2.5) for grid alignment and expression data analysis. Expression data were normalized through quantile normalization and the Robust Multichip Average (RMA) algorithm included in the NimbleScan software. The Probe level (*_norm_RMA.pair) files and mRNA level (*_RMA.calls) files were generated after normalization. All mRNAs level files were imported into Agilent GeneSpring GX software (version 11.5.1) for further analysis.mRNAs that at least 3 out of 6 samples have values greater than or equal to lower cut-off: 50.0 (“All Targets Value”) were chosen for further data analysis. Differentially expressed mRNAs were identified through Volcano Plot filtering. Pathway analysis and GO analysis were applied to determine the roles of these differentially expressed mRNAs played in these biological pathways or GO terms. Finally, Hierarchical Clustering was performed to show the distinguishable mRNAs expression pattern among samples.

Project description:A significant percentage of HIV-infected individuals experience a sharp decline in CD4+ T cell counts and progress to AIDS quickly after primary infection. Identification of biomarkers distinguishing rapid progressors (RPs) versus chronic progressors (CPs) is critical for early clinical intervention and could provide novel strategies to facilitate vaccine design and immune therapy. mRNA and miRNA expression profiles in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of RPs and CPs were investigated at 111±22 days (Mean±SD) of HIV infection. The association of mRNA and miRNA expression with disease progression was examined by receiver operating characteristic analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Pathway enrichment analysis showed that genes with deregulated expression in RPs are primarily involved in apoptosis pathways. Furthermore, we found that 5 miRNAs (miR-31, -200c, -526a, -99a and -503) in RPs were significantly decreased compared to those in CPs (P<0.05). The decreased expression of these miRNAs was associated with rapid disease progression of HIV infection with a 94% predictive value as measured by the area under the curve. The upregulated predicted targets from the 5 signature miRNAs and all upregulated genes identified from mRNA microarray converged to the apoptosis pathway. Moreover, overexpression of miR-31 in primary human T cells promoted their survival. Our results have identified a distinct transcriptomic signature in PBMCs of RPs and provided novel insights to the pathogenesis of HIV infection. A cohort of primary HIV infected individuals with different disease outcome were enrolled in this study. We included 6 individuals with rapid disease progression (RP), seven with chronic disease progression (CP). The HIV infected individuals were never on therapy before the time of sample taken.

Project description:The human gut microbe Bacteroides fragilis can alter the expression of its surface molecules such as capsular polysaccharides and SusC/SusD family outer membrane proteins through the reversible DNA inversions.ã??We have revealed that the outer membrane vesicle (OMV) formation in B. fragilis is regulated by BF2766 (tyrosine recombinase)-mediated DNA inversions at two distantly located promoter regions previously designated as class IV regions. In this study, we aimed to identify the genetic loci associating with the OMV formation by means of transcriptome analysis on the isogenic BF2766 mutants. By comparing the transciptomes of four BF2766 deletion mutants, in which the promoter orientations in class IV-1 and IV-2 regions were locked ON/ON, OFF/ON, OFF/OFF, or ON/OFF, we found that the transcription of the genes downstream of class IV-2 markedly elevated in a hyper-vesiculating ON/ON strain.

Project description:To fit within the confines of the cell, bacterial chromosomes are highly condensed into a structure called the nucleoid. Despite the high degree of compaction in the nucleoid, the genome remains accessible to essential biological processes, such as replication and transcription. Here, we present the first high-resolution chromosome conformation capture-based molecular analysis of the spatial organization of the Escherichia coli nucleoid during rapid growth in rich medium and following an induced amino acid starvation that promotes the stringent response. Our analyses identify the presence of origin and terminus domains in exponentially growing cells. Moreover, we observe an increased number of interactions within the origin domain and significant clustering of SeqA-binding sequences, suggesting a role for SeqA in clustering of newly replicated chromosomes. By contrast, ‘histone-like’ protein (i.e. Fis, IHF and H-NS) binding sites did not cluster, and their role in global nucleoid organization does not manifest through the mediation of chromosomal contacts. Finally, genes that were downregulated after induction of the stringent response were spatially clustered, indicating that transcription in E. coli occurs at transcription foci.
